Highly Unremunerative.
From the Detroit Free Press.

The local agent of fire company went out to
Chene street one day recently to adjust a loss
in dwelling house. There had been only small
blaze with about S25 real damage, but when the
man was asked to give in his figures he said:
II doan' take five hoonered dollar und be so

Puzzled by the Loss of a Car.
From tie Denver Republican.

About two months ago an east bound freight
train over the Union Pacific broke in two re
Laramie City while going down hill in the night
time. The front half, going around a curve,
whipped off the rear car, which went rolling
down a steep enbankment. The car was filed
with choice silks, and yet its departure from the
front end was 50 clean and unattended by any
unusual shock that the train men did not notice
it. They coupled up again and went on to
Cheyenne, where the loss was discovered. Since
that time search has been made for the car
along the whole line without avail Last week
u cowboy found car lying behind big pile of
draw. He CHANGED to be going to the nearest
station, and casually asked the agent why the
company didn't clear up that wreck. The agent
accompanied him back, and discovered that it
was the missing car. Aside from being broken
in at the sides slightly the car was not damaged,
and its valuable contents were found intact.

II looks more and more as if the Republi-
cans, tired of their old leaders and con-
scious that party unity is necessary to give
them even chance for success, will nomi-
nate a comparatively unknown man. II
the election in New York should result in a
Republican victory, it is not at all improb-
able that Lincoln and Grant will be the
names on their ticket, and the memories of
the war their platform. There would be
little common sense in such a programme,
but sentiment is sometimes even more pow
erful than common sense.

Old John studied a moment and then added:

Yes replied Harrison.

Sam Small in his Cooper Union speech
Thursday night said that when the rum
tiger is killed the remains of the Republican
party will he found inside Of it," In its
unregenerste days a favorite subject for
cartoons with Harper's Weekly was the
Democratic tiger, represented as very
lean and hungry but withal powerful beast.
He fatter and better looking of late years.
Mr. Small would have been nearer right if
he had said this was the tiger that would
devour the Republican party. That is his
regular diet, and he will no doubt finish tho
job some day, no matter how disagreeable
he may find it as the carcass gets stale.

Henry George is not to be despised as
mud-slinger. The last issue of his paper
applies a; varied and picturesque
n series of opprobrious epithets to Patrick
Ford, his old ally of the Irish World, as

of Editors Dana and Pulitzer, respectively

Harper, the Cincinnati bank wrecker, is
now spending his time in an iron cage, as
do other thieves and robbers who are scnt
to Jail. Till within day or two, he had
only been nominally imprisoned, and it is
thought was making preparations to cmi-
CRATE TO Canada. A gentleman who called
at the Jail on business was surprised to see
the door opened by Harper in response to
his ring. He made known his experience
to the proper officer, and Harper was
promptly abridged of his liberty. 1t seems
that nowhere more than in Jail can the
power Of money assert itself.

Mexico's Hotels and Restaurants.

The hotels are as poor as they are nu-
merous, and, like the servant girl ques-
ton in the states, it is a never failing
source of gossip and complaint to the
American sojourner and tourist. There
is not hotel here that would rank in the
third class in any of the principal cities in
the states. All the comforts and con-
veniences of ar American hotel are lack
ing. The restaurants are Us poor as the
hotels. The service is abOminable and
the cooking miserable. The meat used is
usually tender, but lacks maturity and
solidity, and gives the impression that it
was ''pulled before becoming ripe"
The vegetables convey the same inn
preston, especially at this season, when
raised by irrigation. Strawberries are
now abundant and cheap, yet they are not
TO be had at the principal restaurants.
Should you buy some in the market and
take them to your restaurant to be served
as a dessert the cook viii invariably spoil
them by deluge of boiling milk. Cream
is unknown here, and butter-never ask
for it or you viii regret having done so.
The bread is made in the style of French
rolls. The crust requires q hammer or q
very sharp knife and a strong arm to PEN
citrate it, and when you have done so You
viii find that the center indicates poor
cooking and worse -four. Mullins. hot
rolls, biscuit and griddle cakes are I'M
known. The prayer of the tourist is for

An Amateur Lion Tanners Escan..

MIR. Cross, the naturalist, was good enough
b recount the following incident which took
place in his establishment a short time since:
L received from young Frenchman of
good family several letters in which he re-
quested to enter the lions den at my receiv-
ing house in Earle street. He assured me
that his vocation was that of a lion tanner,
and one fine day he paid me visit, in com.
pany with three Of his compatriots, whom be
had brought with him in order that they
might be witnesses of his intrepidity. He
asked me if could give him situation, and.
pointing to cage in which there were three
tine African lions, he entreated me to allow
him to put them through performance. l
had just time to tell him that he might enter
at his own risk when / was called into the
Office.
After the lapse of a quarter of an hour a
man rushed up to the desk where 1 was writ
ing and exclaimed excitedly: ''Mr. Cross, one
of the lions is QUIT" ''Where?' I asked, to
which he replied. Loose in the building!'
On hurrying to the spot found the door of
the den open, and the Frenchman inside with
his back against the wooden partition, and
two Of the lions staring him in the face, while
the escaped lion had made for the end of the
narrow passage, where it was meditating
mischief to the other Frenchmen, who had
taken refuge on the top of a pile of boxes,
their faces as white as sheet
The first thing l did was to close the door
leading to the yard, and next to get the
amateur lion tanner out of the den 1t was
well for him that one OF the lions had gone
out of the cage, because the other two were
so amazed at the fact that they remained for
a minute or two perfectly still. We had great
difficulty in making the third lion re-enter the
den, but at last we succeeded, not, however,
without some danger.
After this had been done l myself went into
the cage with no weapon and simply smok~
ing a cigar. My entrance was the signal for
tremendous bounding backward and forward
on the part of the beasts, which were evil
IDENTIFY not a little terrified at one of their
having escaped. As l stood
calmly within the den with my eyes fixed on
the excited animals, l said You see there
is no art in lion tanning, but it requires nerve"
think the result Of that afternoons ad-
venture quite cured the young Frenchman Of
his mania for being lion tanner. Pail Mall

A Merchant who COwhided his sen
In 1924 an old merchant in New York city
started his son, who was inclined 10 he SC me-
what dissipated, in business. When he set
him up he said to him: Now, my sou. I / ave
given you ample capital. If you are steady
and take care Of it and yourself, you viii do
well and make a large fortune. Keep oat of
bad company-avoid gambling I vii in
dorse all your business notes for pureiayes.
If you do not do as l wish. you will ,incu nv
serious displeasure" Years rolled on, and
the son seemed to be doing w when one
morning well known blackleg called Oh the
old gentleman and presented him with a
check on the Bank of North America for
$1,000. Il have been to the bank said the
gambler. 'and they refuse to pay it. Is that
your signature.' The son had lost that
amount at the faro table the night before
1t flashed across the old merchants mind
that something must be wrong, and he OBJ
served to the gambler: "Give me that check
and | win give you another" He did so, and
the gambler went away satisfied.
As soon as he was gone the old gentleman
started for the store Of his son. All seemed
sunshine there. He spoke to his son: II want
to see you up stairs" They went clear up to
the garnet, out Of hearing Then the exas-
perated father drew out of his pocket the
check. He put it under the eye of bis son.
"What does it meanT The son was as
founded. He tried to shuttle it off-to explain
q away. 1t was of no use. "You shall no
longer bring disgrace upon me. 1 will put a
stopper on such goings on" On his way
down to his sons store he had bought heavy
rawhide at saddler's shop. He took his son
by the collar and gave him q most terrific
cowhiding. When he had finished he said:
@Now wind up your business as quickly as
possible" The son left the business never to
return to it again, and was never after re-
garded as of any account by his father or
any one else.-Dry Goods Chronicle
